    When walking out of baggage claim outside to curb. Smell it. That's south side Chicago. Your nostrils will thank you.

    Must get something from Nuts on Clark if you didn't get any in Chicago downtown or at the ballpark.

    The best part about flying through Midway is that you're not flying through O'Hare.

    Priority / Fly By lane is now on the far left. Now has a dedicated security screening area and much faster.

    If you have a early AM flight. Get here at least 90 minutes prior to your check-in. Wait for security 30 minutes.

    Other than not having Pre-Check and no Sky Club, this airport is better run and a better design then Ohare. It also has way better food options and great customer service.

    Bathrooms crowded? Try the ones by the food court. Follow the sign for "toilets" near the back. They're terrific!

    TSA Pre check is the way to go. It's worth it any time of day - regular security check is always a long wait. Not because of TSA, just people galore, always!

    Literally THE WORST tsa screening In the US. I travel a ton. Get there early. On a Friday at 11am it took 1 hour from the end of line to clear the X-ray. Pay for business select

    If you're here early and in terminal A, McDonalds is the only place open for breakfast. They start serving at 5 a.m.

    Southwest does it right! There is scarcity of outlets in this airport and they put in a bunch of seats with outlets at their gates!

    They're not big on chairs...or sitting spaces here. If you hae time, head to the central food area to sit or you'll be standing a lot.
